While the sketchup for woodworkers site was a great resource to help me get started, i learned about another resource called “sketchup guide for woodworkers – the basics” by david richards. david is a sketchup guru who does a lot of illustration and skethchup tutorial work for fine woodworking.. The requirement for no nested components is a bit of a killer, and goes against good modelling practice. for example in a chest of drawers i would expect to model a drawer as a component, consisting of side, back, front and bottom sub-components.. Sketchup for woodworkers guide - sketchup tutorial prior to sketchup, i just made designs with pencil and paper and a couple of general computer applications that were not intended for furniture design..
